What makes water the universal solvent?
This is why a human needs to drink as much water as he or she does. As we go through life eating and drinking (referring to things other than water) and inhaling and opening doors and putting on lotion, we absorb toxins into our body. Let’s face it, this world is not perfect. Once inside us the kidney must filter these poisons back out. That’s where water comes in. The water, being the solvent that it is, washes through the kidney and takes the toxins that it has removed out its the tissues. Without a solvent so universal the kidney would be unable to rid itself of the toxins, and it would poison itself to death. And if water were not structured just as it is, that’s exactly what would happen. In fact, if water were not structured just as it is, life as we know it would cease to exist. Water and it’s properties are very different from every other substance, and we owe our existance to it being so. Its a fascinating study. Look it up sometime!
